BEAL Stinger Dry Cover 9.4 mm Climbing RopeCategory: Climbing EquipmentSubcategory: Ropes and WebbingPush your limits with the BEAL Stinger Dry Cover 9.4 mm, the quintessential single rope designed for the high-grade climber who demands precision, reliability, and versatility. Engineered for top-level sport climbing and challenging alpine ascents, the Stinger is a high-performance tool that instills confidence on every route, from your redpoint project to committing mountain terrain. Its exceptional balance of low weight, superior handling, and robust durability makes it the go-to choice for climbers operating at the peak of their abilities.The magic of the Stinger lies in its advanced technological features. At its heart is the revolutionary UNICORE process, which inextricably bonds the sheath to the core of the rope. This groundbreaking technology eliminates the dangerous issue of sheath slippage, a critical safety enhancement. In the unlikely event the sheath is cut or torn, it remains unified with the core, allowing a climber to safely escape by abseiling or ascending, a feat not possible with traditional ropes. This also significantly improves the rope's handling and longevity, as it prevents the sheath from bunching and wearing unevenly.Complementing this core technology is BEAL's proven Dry Cover treatment. This hydrophobic process is applied to the sheath, creating a formidable barrier against water, dirt, and ice. The result is a rope that maintains its light weight and supple handling even in damp or frozen conditions. It runs smoothly through belay devices and carabiners, resists absorbing performance-degrading grit, and extends the overall lifespan of your most critical piece of gear.With its intermediate 9.4 mm diameter, the Stinger hits the sweet spot for performance. It is light enough to minimize drag on long pitches and reduce fatigue during repeated redpoint attempts, yet it offers a reassuring and durable feel in hand. This makes it incredibly versatile, equally at home on steep, overhanging sport routes as it is on long, multi-pitch alpine faces where every gram counts.Features:KEY FEATURES- Light and supple for fluid handling and clipping.- Versatile performance for a wide range of climbing disciplines.- Offers all the advantages of UNICORE technology for ultimate safety and durability.USE- High grade climbers.- Tailored for top level sport climbing, its intermediate rope diameter as well as the UNICORE process makes it versatile even on alpine terrain.--- Ropes´ Technical Specifications:- Type: Single Rope- Diameter: 9.4 mm- Technology: UNICORE Process- Treatment: Dry Cover (Sheath Treatment)- Impact Force (UIAA Laboratory): 7.8 kN- Number of UIAA Falls: 8- Weight per meter: 57 g/m- Dynamic Elongation: 37 %- Static Elongation: 9.5 %- Sheath Slippage: 0 %
